Anaemia is a condition in which
the number of red blood cells or their oxygen-carrying capacity
is insufficient to meet physiologic needs, which vary by age, sex,
altitude, smoking, and pregnancy status.

Iron deficiency is thought to be the most common
cause of anaemia globally, although other conditions, such as folate,
vitamin B12 and vitamin A deficiencies, chronic inflammation, parasitic
infections, and inherited disorders can all cause anaemia.

In its severe form, it is associated with fatigue,
weakness, dizziness and drowsiness. Pregnant women and children
are particularly vulnerable.

3) What it means in non medical terms
4) What should the patient or care takers do
